Friends, you will forgive my persnicketyness, please. My dear dad passed away the other day at the great age of 94.

He was fortunate to have had many, many years, but that dudn't mean we'd hoped for a few more.

Tomorrow is his reposal with funeral mass on Wednesday morning. Then we get him and ourselves on an airplane so he can be buried in his hometown in Ireland.

It’s about an 1:08 to get there vs 1:03 for the old site, when taking the highway. It’s the same 1:20 if we take the back roads home.

We’re used to commuting, and this one is relatively stress free. 🙂

I don't miss driving that long into work at all but all my commutes were never stress free. I wish the US was more European where everything is closer together. Wildlife would probably like that too.

So sorry for your loss! It is very long time and a target I am secretly aiming for. I am a firm believer, usually, that one doesn't make a big deal about age targets for fear of jinxing it. Anyway, my thoughts go out to you and your family.
Interesting place to be buried, was that his wish?

The funeral director said "20 photos" and no more than that.

How do you distill 94 years into 20 photos????


GAAAAHHHHHHHH

That reminded me of my planning. When my x-wife passed away, I helplessly watch the emotional mess our daughters went through when they were trying to figure out what they should do with her cremated remains. She never made any plans or even discussed it with them. She never did with me either. I tried to help but I honestly didn't know anymore than they did.

I spent over a year trying to make plans ahead of time to save them from that task. At this point all the costs of my planned desires are bought and paid for and written up in a folder that spells it all out. It was difficult just trying to decide what I wanted to happen. I was born and raised and spent 63 years of my life within 50 miles of the Canadian Border. All my relatives for the past 4 or so generations before me are buried there. I had only lived here for about 5 years before I bought a burial plot in Raleigh. I guess since I didn't know what being dead would be like I didn't want to take a chance of having to stay in the cold north for an eternity. So basically I have guaranteed that whatever there is after, chances are I will probably be very warm.

I try to encourage everyone to take care of that topic. I know it is a weird thing to do, but when I finally had it all on paper and decided I felt a whole lot better about how much additional stress I was avoiding for my girls. Maybe someday they will appreciate my efforts in this even if right now, they cringe whenever I say something about it and tell me that I am going to be around a whole lot longer. I hope they are right but in the meantime that is a load off my mind.

That was kind of you to take care of all this for your daughters. It will save them a lot of effort (personal and/or financial), when the time comes. (My parents did the same thing, for us.)
